About Claudia
Claudia Brooker is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She speaks English and French and brings six years of practice to sessions. Claudia aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through painful thoughts and make small changes that matter.
She uses straightforward, conversational work to help people understand what keeps problems going. That can mean looking at patterns of thinking with cognitive behavioural techniques.
Background and approach
It can also mean exploring emotions and attachment needs in a client-centred way. Claudia draws on ideas from emotion-focused and Jungian approaches when they fit a person's history and style. Claudia’s background includes broad clinical experience with mood difficulties, trauma, addictions and identity concerns.
She describes herself as someone who listens closely and adapts the approach to each person’s needs. This means sessions can be practical skills work, deeper emotional exploration, or a blend of both. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines.
Work is collaborative: Claudia and the person she’s supporting set goals and review progress together. She uses her BACP registration as the professional context for her practice in the United Kingdom. People choose Claudia when they want clear, empathetic help for depression, grief, relationship worries or changes at work.
She aims to help people build coping skills and clearer self-understanding so they can move forward at their own pace.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical skills for changing them. CBT can be useful for depression, anxiety and sleep difficulties where step-by-step techniques help reduce symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try ways of working that suit those aims. She sees therapy as a collaborative process and reviews progress together so methods can be adjusted when needed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching-style interventions or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
